HairLoss.com calls for boycott of Freestyle Music Park over TV ad

OK, so I get advocacy for issues surrounding disease, chemo, etc., but making a funny around male pattern baldness? Seriously? Don't most men just expect that as you get older, hair gets thinner on top and starts appearing everywhere else?

"people who suffer from a physical disability"

Seriously?

It's a pretty site, but doesn't seem to be much of a community (32 members, as far as I can tell). I smell a PR stunt.

Now we're in the territory of "PETA vs the President" over Obama swatting a fly. Did the owners of FMP really suggest that "hairpieces/hair restoration isn't worth your time and money"? They were trying to suggest that their rides were super-fast...not condemning the hair restoration industry.

I'm bald and hair pieces themselves offend me.

If they ever perfect the back to head transplant I will be needing a comb again.

Being "follicularly challenged" myself, I find nothing offensive in poking a little fun at myself. The problem arises when people are overly sensitive about silly things, instead of having a sense of humor about themselves.

"We should be past so-called 'funny ads' that are humorous at the expense of people who suffer from a physical disability."

Wow, does that mean I can get a handicapped sticker for my car, so I can park up close along with the people who require wheelchairs? Maybe I can collect social security disability checks and not have to work because of my "disability."

You should try doing what I do. Let the hair on your back grow really, really long, then do a comb over to cover your bald spot. :) See I can laugh at myself.

I wanna see the video.

^Here you go.

The hairpiece doesn't even completely fall off. :)

Actually, that's a pretty cool clip. What's so offensive about it? Maybe people with weak stomachs or dizzy spells should b**ch about it too.

I think these hair loss people are going off the deep end a bit. It's only an AD!!!!

I've seen that ad before... I thought he just had "rock-n-roll hair" after his ride. I didn't even realize it was a hair piece.

I just thought of something:

Shouldn't coasters he a "hair raising," thing, not a "hair shrinking" thing?

So can I start a group of men suffering from ED to boycott BGE due to the nude statue on a woman in their fountain? This sort of torment has to stop! LOL... I love things like this, makes me laugh more than the ad itstelf.

I hear that Six Flags has a new policy requiring all hair pieces be placed in lockers before boarding the rides. You can never be too careful....

And you can't leave them in your pockets at HW. ;)

Is that a hair piece in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? Can't believe Moosh didn't jump on that one.

All we are saying is give hair piece a chance...

Gee, let's collect all the toppe's, hair weaves, and wigs, and make a giant HAIRBALL to chuck all the people who think the ad (and Moosh) aren't funny.

On second thought, let's just just thow it at Moosh ans save the trouble.

This seems a little fishy. It's just silly enough to be something the park made up to promote the park. After all, all publicity is good publicity.

I'm secure enough with my male patterned baldness to know that this coaster sucks, even without the ad.
